The Role
Modal considers high-quality documentation to be essential for developer experience, and we see docs becoming even more important as agents increasingly deploy and operate Modal Apps.

- Building and maintaining automated pipelines that will enforce the correctness of code examples and prose descriptions
- Collaborating with engineers across the company to author documentation that is clear, consistent, and correct
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in an engineering, product, or developer relations role, ideally in the devtools or infrastructure space

About US
AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal.
Every era of computing brought new workloads that previous infrastructure couldn't support: mainframes, databases, and the cloud. Each time, the company that rebuilt the layer underneath defined the decade. AI is no different, except it touches everything instead of one slice, and the window to build the layer underneath it is open right now.
Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable Ramp Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno. They rely on Modal for instant GPU access, sub-second container starts, and native storage, so it's simple to serve low-latency inference, fine-tune models, and access production-ready sandboxes at scale.
We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September.
Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g.,Seaborn), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience.
